Eric Bloodaxe │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ Chapter I.

This is a two part listing. The first part is Chapter II, the Phreak terms and descriptions/definitions. The second part, Chapter III, is the full box listing and "what do they do?", and "where they work" sections. Why did I write this, you ask?
